Chapter 217: Chapter 177: Benevolence Is Invincible_2

For a moment, he stood there dumbfounded.

Small Knife observed that this black little banner had turned white?

Ten Spirits Banner: Lower Grade Magical Artifact: Attribute: None, Mana Energy: 0%, Attached Skill: Spirit Control. 0|10. Divine Techniques: Blood Sacrifice. Status: Masterless.

Hint: It can absorb souls, but resentful energies like ghost qi will corrode the artifact, enhancing its power.

Suddenly, the Scar-faced Ghost suddenly laughed, as if relieved, and started laughing maniacally.

He laughed until he cried.

"Alright! Alright, am I really the kind of studio boss who takes my subordinates’ magical treasures? No dignity at all?" Small Knife tossed it.

The white little banner was thrown back again.

The Scar-faced Ghost instinctively caught it, and even his bitter smile stopped.

He held it tightly, unwilling to let go, wanting to say something, yet didn’t know how to begin.

Because he was utterly shocked.

Never expected the magical artifact could be returned?

And this wasn’t just any ordinary magical artifact; it was one capable of recognizing an owner, allowing ordinary people to wield its full power.

The Immortal Masters they ambushed were mostly without magical artifacts.

Such a treasure, the leaders of the Four Major Forces wouldn’t even speak a word before taking it; they’d never let it out of their grip.

"Alright! From now on, we’re on the same side, use this thing with caution, try it out more, it doesn’t necessarily need resentful evil ghosts. Our Little Knife Studio isn’t lacking in your bit of combat power."

Scar-faced Ghost left quickly, walking away in a stupefied daze.

Yet, he wasn’t lost, soon returned bearing a black token.

Black Bone Token: ???

Hint 1: Contains yin qi, one side is engraved with a devil’s face, seems not to be a benevolent item, and its quality is not low.

Hint 2: It can open a secret underground door, suspected to be the former hidden base of the evil sect, the Ghost-Exorcising Sect.

Small Knife chatted with the Scar-faced Ghost for a while, gaining more intelligence, including a hand-drawn detailed map.

Comparing with the detailed map obtained from the two major guilds, the location was indeed remote; normally, closed beta players wouldn’t dare stray too far off the main road, only those newcomers would cluelessly wander around.

If they die, even their soul fragments can’t be retrieved.

But the distance wasn’t too far, tempting Small Knife a bit.

The map Small Knife had was meticulously curated by the studio (the squad), and authorized by the guild presidents, requiring a spend of spirit water to obtain.

Even so, there were contract restrictions forbidding random sharing; it’s said the map embodied their years of effort, a considerable price.

Even so, it still didn’t include the graveyard area where the treasure was hidden.

That place strayed from the main road, desolate and rarely inhabited.

However, as Small Knife examined the map, a new prompt gradually appeared below.

Eye of Investigation prompt: Host observation range, system holds relevant records, would you like to consume Inheritance Contribution: 100, to obtain detailed intelligence.

Hint: Only includes system-recorded entries.

"Charging again? And a full hundred Inheritance Contributions, that’s enough to buy a hundred percent loyal witch." Small Knife grumbled, yet decisively chose to agree to pay.

The departing Scar-faced Ghost staggered back to his abode.

Laying down, clutching his head for a long time.

Unable to sleep, random thoughts lingered in his mind.

Recalling seemingly forgotten trivial matters.

Suddenly, he laughed.

Gazing at the now-white Ten Spirits Banner in his hand, finding this boss quite intriguing, worth following.

As for me, the Scar-faced Ghost, am just a minor character; this is enough, I’ll stick with you from now on.

He voluntarily requested a contract revision, seeking the same treatment as others, no longer needing half-spirit water as salary.

Small Knife glanced over it and agreed readily.

Yet, he recalled that bone token.

This isn’t giving up any advantages, is it?

Am I one to grasp such small advantages, especially from my own people?

Unsettled thoughts,

casually, he rewarded the Scar-faced Ghost with a contribution bonus.

Specifically, valued at: 10 billion Bone Coins=1 million Iron Coins=100 Spirit Stones.

Small Knife considered it minimal, as a hundred Spirit Stones couldn’t even buy a lower-grade magical artifact, only the equivalent of a top-grade talisman.

Experienced players accumulated enough knowledge to know about the general pricing and how some of it spread across the cultivator side.

The Bone Token, capable of unlocking the door to a treasure trove, was far more valuable than a lower-grade magical artifact.

Especially since Small Knife purchased system-recorded information, confirming it to be the secret base of the Ghost-Exorcising Sect, a hidden small sect.

A few hundred years ago, this evil small sect relocated to the Northern Witch area for unknown reasons.

The sect settled on Little Yin Mountain.

It’s said that within a few days of peace, they ambushed the tribe’s hunting team, extracting essence blood and the like.

Thinking the tribe consisted solely of mortals, easy targets?

Naturally, the tribe couldn’t tolerate such actions, dispatching numerous Great Witches to eventually defeat them.

The remaining cultivators of the Ghost-Exorcising Sect hid within the sect’s premises, feared to come out, likely due to array protection, even the tribe couldn’t break in, eventually oppressing them with a totem pole for a hundred years.

Those daring enough to come out were killed, only leaving after a hundred years.

According to information, an evil sect like the Ghost-Exorcising Sect, deprived of essence blood for a hundred years, would be preyed upon by evil ghosts.

So after a hundred years, they retreated, leaving it as history.

With system endorsement, Small Knife confirmed its worth, awarding a hundred spirit stones as compensation.

Though frugal, Small Knife wasn’t stingy towards his people, always offering some perks.

Moreover, it was a hundred spirit stones, but impossible to exchange for spirit stones; at best, one could trade for iron coins.

Such investments lifted his spirits, a win-win situation.

As for the treasure, though enticing, with spirit water’s purifying capabilities and ghost control, Small Knife wasn’t planning to rush.

First, focus on power enhancement, especially in reality.

Aim to reach Spirit Awakening, surpass the hundred levels, enter the Qi Refining stage, become an Immortal Master, achieve full magical artifact potential before leaving the newbie area; considering outside lacks Celestial Net coverage.

Thinking of arduous cultivation, uncertain how long it’ll take, Small Knife felt a twinge of frustration.

Nevertheless, after drinking half-spirit tea, he went offline for diligent cultivation.

No effort now will cost lives when danger strikes.

Meanwhile, the Scar-faced Ghost understood that any force obtaining this magical artifact wouldn’t return it to him, making this Brother Dao a pleasant surprise.

Thus, after much effort, he managed to calm himself, resolving to serve this boss loyally.

Suddenly, a prompt sounded, revealing a massive bonus? Contribution points convertible to cash.

What kind of trickery is this?

Bone Coins are valuable, just by seeing all those zeros, he was momentarily stunned.

After much calculation! Counting zeros over and over, indeed too many.

Eventually confirmed it.

Ten billion Bone Coins? My god.

One could drown in them.

Converting to Real Coin? What notion is that?

So, if he isn’t dazed, who would be?

"Calm down, calm down! When money is abundant, you can’t just convert them into Real Coins." he reassured himself.

After a while, the Scar-faced Ghost gradually composed himself.

Ten billion sounds like a lot.

"But, converting to Iron Coin? What would that mean?"

"It’s just a hundred million Iron Coins, converted to Spirit Stones, as the rumors go of one hundred thousand Iron Coins convert to one, it’s just a hundred Spirit Stones, can buy a hundred pounds of Celestial Level Half-Spirit Water, essentially a hundred months’ salary."

"Clearly, my offering of the Bone Token was far more beneficial than this bit of gain."

"But whatever, I don’t want to think about it, time to sleep."

"I used to look down on those experts who pledged allegiance to major forces, mocked them as lowly and subservient,"

"Why is it that now, despite feeling cheated, I am overwhelmingly grateful?"

Forget it, forget it, just sleep.

Previously, when looking at those masters who sided with major forces, he mocked them as being lowly and servile,

But now, he felt he should settle down to serve this boss with loyalty.

Suddenly, a figure emerged in the Scar-faced Ghost’s mind.

It was a crazy woman, also a pitiful one, one of the Thirty-six Loose Cultivators, the Fire Ghost.

She achieved opportunity through reckless bravery while he followed a different path, resulting in both becoming scarred ghosts, thus sharing some fateful bond.

Exploited yet indebted.

No need to dwell on it, time for sleep.
